Hi all, im having a bit of a strange problem with database connection and im trying to rule out a problem with my code before i go after tech support with it (im reluctant... theyre rubbish) Basically under CI any connection to mysql databases results in a database error: Code: A Database Error Occurred I know the settings are definitely correct, there the same ones used for all my other projects and ive double checked them several times. I tried a normal php script to see if it was any more verbose in its response and got: Code: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: OK packet 6 bytes shorter than expected in H:\Program Files\wamp\www\dbtest.php on line 7 is there anything i can do about this from my end, or is it definitely a tech support job? cheers

You are using a 16 characters long pwd hash to connect to the database while the 4.1+ has a larger hash. Basically you need to reset/change the password to connect. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/old-client.html |
